ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowships for October 2022

The Department of Geography at Aberystwyth University invites applications for Postdoctoral Fellows (PDFs) as part of the Human Geography pathway of the ESRC Wales Doctoral Training Partnership. Indications of interest must be sent to the pathway convenor, Professor Gary Bridge at Cardiff University, before 1 February 2022 

Postdoctoral fellowships are one-year awards. Potential applicants will need an academic mentor, which would be a member of staff at either Cardiff, Aberystwyth or Swansea University. Information on the research interests of Aberystwyth Geography staff may be found here: https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/dges/research/ 

The first formal step in the application process is to contact the Human Geography pathway convenor, Professor Gary Bridge at Cardiff University, to discuss the suitability of the topic and potential mentors. This conversation with Professor Bridge must happen by 1 February 2022 at the latest. More information on eligibility for these fellowships, including application information, can be found here: https://walesdtp.ac.uk/fellowships/.  

There will be an information session on applying for a PDF on Monday 10 January 2022. See below.
